BERKELEY — Running back/linebacker Devante Downs, a four-star prospect according to rivals.com, announced his oral commitment to Cal via Twitter on Thursday.

Downs, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound senior at Mountlake Terrace High in Lynnwood, Wash., will not play this season after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament at a four-day team camp in Oregon in June.

Downs ran for 1,266 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.

Downs is the 10th player and the third four-star athlete from the class of 2014 to commit to the Bears. Other four-star athletes to commit to Cal are Koa Farmer of Sherman Oaks and Jaleel Wadood of Bellflower.
